Uh... yeah. Right.

The height determines how much offset you can run because of simple physics. Body roll in a corner decreases the gap between fender and wheel/tire. The lower the offset the farther the tire sticks out, and therefore less clearance between the fender and tire. 42 offset wheels rub on a WRX with lowered suspension. But, I guess you are some sort of mechanical genius because you put 20 offset on a lowered car and it didn't rub at all. I'm sure they fit perfectly. I'm sure that's why everyone runs them.

Go to any of the Subaru message boards and ask the same question. I'm 100% positive they will agree with me. Of course, that doesn't matter to you. You just want to argue.

If that's what makes you happy, be my guest....

I'm making myself look stupid? dude....come on now. I worked @ NTB for over 2 years and I KNOW my tires/rims/suspension. Below me. I don't care how much of an e-thug you are...get out of my thread. This thread was for out meet, not for you to "prove" your feeble comments are validated. end yourself.

Cosmo - what rims are you running? My buddy has a WRX and he's got a set of Rota's and the offset looks almost like they'd fit on my car.

You obviously don't know very much. What does working at NTB have to do with anything? If you think NTB has ANY clue about fitment you are sadly mistaken.

Dude you did know? he always correct, Since he owns a 240 he thinks he knows everything about everyone else car.

You worked at NTB? have you worked with my Brother Delano, or my cousin Jeff?
